The old Spanish road from Mexico to Natchitoches ran through a strip of country claimed by both Spain and the United States. Nardini tells its history: Los Adais, the Spanish capital of Texas, Louis Juchereau de St. Denis, early doctors, frontier romance, soldiers and outlaws of the neutral ground between the Sabine and the Arroyo Hondo.
A local history full of colourful episodes, for anyone curious about the Louisiana–Texas borderland. Download the free EPUB.
